Retaining older Calendar entries on iOS

Amazing!  I had issues thinking my old appointments were deleted and they have “magically” appeared after reading this article.  I am self employed and need to keep records of my appointments.

Thank you so much :D

The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store

Oh, I forgot to mention that after deleting it from your iPod, your iCloud account still exist on Apple’s server. If you care about Apple, and don’t want them to waste money keeping unused information laying around, or if you need to access some of your old files later, you can go to   http://www.icloud.com  any time, and access/modify many of your files from there. Just login with the account you want to access.

Though this site may not work too well for apps other then the ones Apple made like Pages and stuff, but it’s worth a try if you need it or if ya just want to be nice to Apple .
Peace out,
Vlad

The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store

@ Izzy (#10)

Hey, I had a similar issue, what I did was set up a new iCloud account from a different computer. Then on my iPad, I changed my iCloud/iMessages/FaceTime to the new account, but not that I did Not change my iTunes store information.

Keeping the iTunes store account the same is key if you want to keep your purchases, but you can change you iCloud account independently of you iTunes account by going to   Setting>iCloud>DeleteAccount.

Another thing to note though… I think you will be given the choice to keep your saved documents on your iPod, but I would strongly recommend that that you do the following two things before deletion your account:

1) *If* possible, backup your most important files (contact/documents/ whatever else you need)

2) Most important though, (even if you backed up everything), go to Pages/Keynote/Numbers if you have them, and manually turn off iCloud in each one. This can be done through   Settings>Pages>Use iCloud   and choose “keep documents on device” (it will ask when you open the app).

Hi I found what I think is a typo.

The line “although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes”
says “nothing” but I think it should say “noting.”

Hope this helps,

Remove old iCloud backup after restoring to a new iPhone

We have 2 IPhone 4’s. ((My phone that has the only ITUNES ACCT already was upgraded).  My husband recently upgraded his to IOS 6 on the same computer with the same ITUNES ACCT as mine.  Now he has all my contacts and gets all my texts. Also I get all his things also. Also when he text or MSG me. It goes right bac to his phone. His phone is a business phone and I don’t want to delete his contacts on my phone because it deletes them on his.

Any ideas what I can do to clear up this mess so we don’t get each others
Things?  Or could you please explain to me how to do this?

The Complete Guide to iPod, Apple TV and iPhone Video Formats

I have recently been “elected” to do some video recordings for a friend working for an admirable environmental cause. Is there a way that I can download the videos from her iPhone-4s to my pc for editing/processing? I have seen several “explanations” online which assume that the iPhone will show up on my computer as a video device or external storage device when connected by USB, but that simply does not happen. I have tried via iTunes as well, with no luck. She needs to have a presentation ready soon, including excerpts from her public presentation, and I am really stuck for a solution. Any guidance that you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Costs associated with using FaceTime

Of course, newer iPad models that are WiFi-only can’t access 3G/LTE. Plenty of people are buying these.

Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode

@Daniel Ashford (#2): If you are trying to connect your iPod touch to a computer that you have not synced with in the past, you will likely not be able to restore your device without unlocking the device first, which of course you can’t do if you don’t know the passcode.

See Can’t restore iPod touch without passcode for more information on how to proceed in this case.

If you have encrypted your backup in iTunes, then you will need to enter the password that was used to encrypt that backup in the first place. This will not necessarily be the same as the passcode from your device, and the one actually has no connection to the other. As this is an encryption password, you will not be able to restore that backup without it, so if you have forgotten that password you’re unfortunately out of luck, although you can still restore your device back to factory settings and try restoring from an iCloud backup if you have one.

iPhone call audio via Dock Connector

@Juan Roca (#1): This article was written in January 2009, long before Skype or most other iPhone telephony apps were available, and when the iPhone was running “iOS” 2.0. Of course a lot has changed since then in regard to third-party apps; Apple added more flexibility in subsequent iOS versions—such as the ability for third-party developers to actually play audio through the earpiece at all—and it’s now up to individual app developers now to decide which speakers and connectors are used to output audio from their apps.

However, the article refers primarily to audio from the iPhone’s actual Phone app, and in that regard, the behaviour is the same today on the iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4 as it was on the iPhone 3G running “iOS” 2.2 when this article was written.
